Direct link between Los Angeles fires and climate change

New research shows that climate change has increased the likelihood of devastating fires in the city of Los Angeles this month. A study by the researchers shows that climate change has helped create conditions for devastating fires in Los Angeles this month.

Pulcisids and Eyiton fires began in early January, leading to the death of at least nine people and destroying four structures, according to the Technical Technology Media News Service. The hot conditions and the very powerful winds fueled the flames. According to this study, these conditions have increased by about 2 percent due to the emissions of greenhouse gas emissions caused by fossil fuels that heat the planet. The risk of fire will increase only if the contamination caused by climate change is not stopped.

“This was a complete storm of conditions for fires,” said John Abatzoglu, professor of climate at the University of California. According to this study, in today’s climate, it is expected that the intense air that caused the January fires will occur almost every five years. The study was conducted by the Initiative of World Climate Assignment an international cooperation with scientists who investigate the role of climate change in catastrophes around the world.

They examine historical meteorological data and climatic models to compare the real -world scenarios with what probably would not have been an average of 2.5 degrees Celsius warmer than before the Industrial Revolution. If the planet is warmed by another 2.5 degrees Celsius, which can occur in the next five years under current policies, the type of climate that exacerbates this month’s fires is 5 % more likely. According to the researchers, the dry season in the area has already increased by about 5 days. This increases the likelihood of dry air synchronization with the powerful winds of Santa Anna, which usually begins in cooler months. To see other news, you go to the environmental news page.
